“A $200K job is a prison. They pay you just enough to keep you there.”
This Dropping Bombs episode features Christopher and Chandler Terrell, the husband-and-wife founders of Labor to Legacy and The Co-Founder Marriage. Christopher is walking away from high-voltage power lines to chase ownership, and Chandler held down her own six-figure career while their business nearly destroyed what they thought was a perfect marriage.
They break down the best friend turned employee who quit at peak season and launched a rival, the ultimatum that saved their marriage, the power struggle over who reports to whom, and why “special energy” decides whether a couple survives.
Your business is either your marriage’s biggest asset or its slowest killer. Find out which before your spouse does.
